Also: Write your name in the snow without doing an embarassing waddle-dance.
The boys were raised in Florida and thought I had lost my mind when I mentioned this on a snowy vacation. They just don't understand snow fun.
River: They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see the sky and they remember what they are. Mal: Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?
'Safe'

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Hi, Nora. Too much work, a smattering of politics, and not enough actual WRITING. Aaargh.
Reading of Gus' demise reminded me I hadn't checked in on the Buffistae for way too long. It's good to see you all-or your sexy electrons at any rate.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I tried several times but failed to write my name in the snow. I'd always run out when I was in the middle of the 'm'.
eta: Of course, that probably just means I haven't tried properly....

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Medieval folk were not subtle.
I would fit right in!
I am such a ... I don't know, I guess "freak" would be the best word. As I was applying the trim to the sleeves, I kept thinking, "Would elves put trim on their sleeves? Would they use this kind of trim? What about the classes of elves? Is this color wrong??" Such a doof.

The word you're looking for is "costumer".

Now that I'm somewhat confident in my ability to fake it til I make it, I want to remake the dress in the teal velvet. And also make one for Em. And then to the RenFaire.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My drunk friend John let me write my name in the snow once on a camping trip. I still wonder if anyone else came across, "liz" written in cursive with a big flourish on the end and wondered if some guy was peeing a tribute to his girlfriend.

Just since I posted a bunch about marriage problems, I thought I would update that things are pretty much all patched up now. Not exactly perfect, but probably no more so than any marriage is.
That's great news, Gud. I'm glad for you and your family. Has your wife's depression alleviated? Is watching House that therapeutic?
Ple, I've gotta say the Bean looks good in houndstooth check. Smashing.
Matilda had a weird night of being perfectly charming and then flipping out like a mammal and howling in apparent pain for an hour or two until she settled down. We don't know if its gas or growing pains, but it does make her out of sorts.
She's not so squishy anymore, Bev. Her back is strong and while she's a bit wobbly, she's straining upward and pushing her legs and flapping her arms in preparation for take-off.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Gud, I'm so glad for your good news. Rough patches do suck, but resolving those thorny problems usually strengthens the relationship and gives it some longevity.
So--spoke to my back doctor. The surgery talk she gave me scared the bejezus out of me. Disc fusion, back brace and NO lifting my kids for 12 weeks. I do have one more emergency epidural injection to consider. The 3 shot limit is due to the steroid fear. But she said we could try another one (as long as I understood the risks) if the pain continues to get worse. I want to try some more physical therapy, work on some logistical issues at home (lifting and child care) and concentrate on REALLY working harder on strengthening my abdominals.
The last two weeks have been low-pain level because DH has pretty much had most of the time off of work so I've had lots of respite in baby lifting and help around the house.
